Benzaldehyde, 3-bromo-2,5-dihydroxy-

Description:

Benzaldehyde, 3-bromo-2,5-dihydroxy- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzene ring substituted with a formyl group (–CHO) and two hydroxyl groups (–OH) at the 2 and 5 positions, along with a bromine atom at the 3 position. This compound is typically a pale yellow to brown solid or liquid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It exhibits properties common to both aldehydes and phenolic compounds, such as reactivity towards nucleophiles and the ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution. The presence of hydroxyl groups contributes to its solubility in polar solvents and enhances its potential for hydrogen bonding. Additionally, the bromine substituent can influence its reactivity and stability, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in pharmaceuticals. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as it may pose hazards typical of brominated organic compounds.
